While the rest of the planet says, “Who the eff is Nate Palmer?” Packer Nation remembers the 6th round pick who got his shot when Sam Barrington went down in Week 1. After looking like an alright cover linebacker who struggled against the run in Weeks 1 and 2, Palmer eventually turned out to be a mediocre cover linebacker who was lost against the run.
That would seem to make the move to dump Palmer a non-story, but on the contrary, this is a surprise for a couple reasons.
For one, the Packers rarely cut anyone.
